A Mega Star with Magic Energy – He made me feel so warm and so welcome, and was so positive about Brahmāstra – I cherish deeply having had the privilege to have met him on this journey! With utmost respect (and excitement)… I feel honoured to share that Chiranjeevi Garu is lending his Voice to our movie, and our Trailer in Telugu. To be in the Dub Studio with him, and to listen to his voice on our Trailer – will be one of my favourite memories on Brahmāstra!” Karan Johar shared the same video.
